Chapter 889 – #194_Typhoon(2)

#883

One.
It’s a story that doesn’t feel real.

It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of a homunculus king, but that stag is leading a named homunculus corps and heading south to the East Sea, preparing to invade the Korean Peninsula.

If this world were a novel, wouldn’t it be something that would make you tilt your head at the thought of ‘Isn’t this a sudden development?’

Even so, Gehenna is so calm even though a series of disasters immediately occurred in South America, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties.
Even Si-woo knew about the incident for the first time through Mr. Su-ah’s mouth.

The people gathered here are Count Jemenai and Teacher Sua.
And Siu, Amelia, Sharon, and Leruhe.

“To think that a group of incompetent monsters invaded Guk-seo’s hometown. I should give it to you right now.”

Leruye was indignant, and she spoke in an unusually serious tone.
I felt the will to go to the present world and annihilate the monster army right away.

Le Rue is not a particularly pro-human witch, but the fact that Siu’s hometown is in danger is a serious issue.

“I will help if I can be of any help.”

The same goes for Amelia.
Amelia, who had been working on the steering all night, coldly lit her eyes as the fragrance wafted from her body.

“Korea is my second home. I’ll help too. Siwoo.”

Sharon, who became the owner of the building thanks to Siwoo’s gift and spent most of her witch days in Seoul, also agreed and pledged her help.

After thinking for a while, Siu asked.

Unlike the three lovers, seeing the mother-in-laws maintaining a calm attitude, it was not today or tomorrow that Mr. Sua knew about this fact.

If so, I’m curious about this.

“Why are you telling me now? The story of the appearance of the King of Monsters.”

Su-ah, who had chosen words several times, was quite within the expected range.

“I apologize. Prince Tiphareth asked Lord Siu to keep it a secret…”
“…”

I don’t consider myself a very righteous person.
Although he gained powers other than humanity, he said he could change the world, and he never particularly decided to become a hero.

I just want to keep and maintain happiness within my reach.

I was always afraid of situations where I had to destroy an unknown magic head-on.
Every wound hurt, and he wanted to avoid a life-and-death fight as much as possible.

Wouldn’t it be a petit bourgeois attitude that would be accepted enough that even if you weren’t a witch in spirit, your only life was a waste?

“Okay.”

That’s why Siu was surprised.

I want to go.
Want to fight
It is not because of the great cause or justice to protect people.

He had no idea that he had an inexplicable urge.

“I understand what Master is worried about. But I will help too.”
“No, Siu-kun.”

It was Albireo, not Sua-sensei, who resolutely cut Siu off.
Albireo immediately asked Sua.

“Sir Sua, is there any guarantee that the series of events are not related to Hexsennacht?”
“It was so sudden that we couldn’t confirm it.”

“How likely do you think there is a connection?”
“For a girl to say with certainty…”

“At least roughly.”
“… It is considered half and half.”

It was a question directed at Sua, but it was practically the same as asking Siwoo to listen.

“Did you hear? Siwoo-kun needs to be more timid than the others. You were taken to Hexsenacht not too long ago, right?”

“But… It is said that the place where I was born and raised is on the verge of an uproar, but I cannot stay like this. Besides, teacher Sua is also in need of help, so didn’t you tell me at Master’s request?”

“How long has it been since you’ve come back after making so many people suffer? Are you saying you’re going to crawl into the battlefield again?”

Albireo questioned Shiu, who rarely stood up to his mother-in-law, in a sharp voice.

“That…”

Her point was enough to make Siwoo shut up.

Even though most of the situations were unavoidable, it is true that Siwoo deeply rotted the hearts of the lovers.

I glanced at Mr. Sua to ask for help.
Seeing her growth potential and her strength while teaching Siwoo, she felt like she could be on her side.

However, when her eyes met, Mr. Sua avoided her gaze and said.

“I’m sorry, Lord Siu, but the girl is of the same opinion as Count Albireo. It is too dangerous.”
“You saw Teacher Sua, too. If it were me, it would be of great help.”

“I cannot deny that fact… If the monster corps is related to Hexsenacht and manipulated to invade Korea, I am concerned that it is possible that it will be the enemy forces’ wish for Siwoo to go to the battlefield in person.”
“Agatha.”

Amelia, who had not interrupted her conversation, quietly added her words.

Amelia also doesn’t like Siwoo heading to a dangerous place.

But if she was his wish, she wanted to be supportive.
Even Amelia would not stand still if her precious lynx grove were under attack.

What happens in the future is something that can be prevented even with the utmost of one’s life.

“If it has anything to do with Hexsenacht, do we really need to send in troops one after another?”
“Miss Amelia is right. According to her, South America was also attacked. Who set fire to her front yard?”

She even joined Sharon to carefully help Amelia, but Albireo and Deneb’s opinions were firm.

“Miss Amelia, it is true that the main radio wave of Hexsenacht has gained strength. But the whole of Hexsenacht does not want an all-out war right now.”
“In short, this raid can be seen as a seasoning. Inside Hexsennacht, which is in trouble after being attacked and missing its ringleader, it will be a suitable propaganda topic, and as long as there are no clues to characterize the people behind it, it is enough to remain ignorant.”

“There is no need to think too hard about the incident that happened in South America. We need some ‘fuel’ to accompany such a homunculus.”
“Isn’t it awkward to guess that they refueled and sortied in the mainland area?”
“Anyway, Siwoo-kun. It is absolutely forbidden to go out into the present world.”

As a count who was involved in two of the biggest wars in the world, neither Amelia nor Sharon could easily refute.
The same goes for Siu.

“Don’t worry too much. Don’t you have luggage?”

At that time, it was Leruhe who stepped out and patted Siwoo on the shoulder.
Leruhe, who put a lot of strength on his shoulders and showed off the magic field of the 23rd rank, lifted his chin and said.

“I ask, who is Jim?”
“It’s Mr. Leruhe.”
“Again! Who is Jim?”
“This is Queen Nukelabi of Rue, who succeeded the dynasty of the great Nukelabi.”

Siwoo replied with a sigh as he wasn’t in the mood to joke around.
Leruye urged again, shaking both of her shoulders saying that Siu did not like her.

“No. Your answer is wrong.”
“Yes?”
“Of course, Jim is the queen of the Nukelaby dynasty, but she is the woman of God Siu before that.”

Siu is well aware of how proud she is of being her queen.
Without any hesitation, such Lruhe put her value and her Sioux on equal footing.

“If it weren’t for you, she would still be living in Akula, thinking that the narrow world was everything. She wouldn’t have made good friends, and she wouldn’t have realized that world domination was such a distant ambition. And most of all, she is you. She would never have met a nice guy. That is why she feels grateful to you.”
“Lady Rue…”

“Do you think you would condone this Rruye Nukelavie having your hometown trampled on? There is no one who can stand against my load on the sea! So don’t intrude too much on your charges, and play with her twins until the day Jim returns ringing her victory high. Do you understand?”

Truly, Lruët shows the dignity of a queen for the first time in a while.

“Siwoo, don’t worry. I’ll help too. It’s the place where she and Siu went on a trip for the first time.”

Amelia also wrapped her arms around Shiu warmly.
Sharon, who was suffering from the rise in the hierarchy, did not stand still.

“I will go too. Don’t dry it.”

In the case of Amelia, it hasn’t been long since she ascended the hierarchy, and Leruët also hasn’t been long since inheriting her stigma, but the two are 23rd.
It is a level higher than the 22nd hierarchy, where Siwoo had to pour everything in to achieve a match.

Even if you fall in love with yourself and send your lovers to the battlefield, you can be somewhat less worried if you are two.

But Sharon is in the 21st rank.
I was afraid that I might be in great danger.

“Don’t look at me like that! I wasn’t just playing.”

As long as we’ve been together for a long time, it seems like we can see through all these thoughts.
Sharon, who seemed like a fool and sometimes squeezed out, asserted her archwitch dignity for the first time.

“I will definitely protect my property and come back. Teacher Sua, we will all go right now.”

Su-ah stared blankly at her lovers’ conversation, but she came to her senses at Sharon’s call.
He gave Amelia and Lerue a straight look, telling them to guide them quickly.

Sua knew about the nature of a witch who terribly cherished her own life.

Also, she didn’t have high expectations as much as she did.
It is on the way to evolving an unprecedented disaster that is unknown how it will spread.

However, all three express their intention to participate in the war without hesitation.

She’s not just a witch, she’s a power-to-witch.
She couldn’t be more supportive.

“Thank you very much.”

After exchanging last words with Albireo Deneb, the three of them head to the immigration office.
Su-ah pondered over a question.

“Can I ask a girl a question?”
“Yes? Yes.”
“If it hadn’t been for Siwoo-gong, what would the three of you have done in this situation?”
“I must have been in Akula.”

The silence from the other two people, except for Leruhe, who gave an immediate answer, lengthened.

“Hmm…”
“Well…”

This is normal.

Even the same human beings don’t care much about the poor people in a country they don’t even know the name of, starving to death in seconds.
Since empathy varies according to the domain of cognition, it does not pay much attention to tragedies that are far from the domain of cognition.

Even more, they exist in a different space, and to other witches, even species, death outside seems like a numerical statistic.

Perhaps, like the other witches of Gehenna, she didn’t pay much attention to it, or when she wanted to become a really big problem.

In other words, the center of this strong support group was Shin Si-woo.

Shin Si-woo’s power is not just magical ability and martial arts…
It was also in the relationship of a lover, that is, a human relationship, that Mr. Sua expressed concern about being promiscuous.
